need advice on reactors...

[Swirlygig]

Never used a carbon/phosphate reactor...any suggestions on decent reactors for the price or how to set one up?

Reason I ask is I have a bit of green algae that doesn't want to go away...

Thanks guys...

Two little fishies makes a good one. I have on of them,easy to set up and use. Need to buya small power head for it. You can use it in sump or as a HOB.

I had the same issue, and used the PhosBan reactor from two little fishies. I dont have issues with algae or phosphates anymore. I use RowaPhos in it, and replace it every three months or so. Works great.

What kind of pump did you use for it?
I just saw this one that comes with a pump...
What do you think?

I am using a Maxi Jet 400 for the pump.
The one you found looks like it should be good. And at the same price, this one comes with a pump. Good deal.

What would be a good phosphate absorption and carbon media to use for the price?
